“The episodes that are good are very good. The episodes that talk about how many bangers Ben Affleck has made in a row are very bad. A pod that mostly makes you very glad you aren’t spending your life making hot garbage.”

Thank you for thinking like a filmmaker, relating to us like a filmmaker, but most...”Read full review »

“The host keeps talking over the guest with his own ‘nuggets of info’ - the vast majority of which end up being dumbed down sound bites of what the guest is already saying. Feels like he has the need to press his ego into the conversation. It destroys the flow and these entirely unsolicited...”Read full review »

“I don’t even really disagree with their politics, but that’s not why I’m here. Way too much politics mixed in. Don’t care to hear people’s politics, agree or not. Just want to speak about the business and learn.”

“I can’t believe these words are actually coming out of people who call themselves film enthusiasts. The analogies are utterly cinematically illiterate. The analysis and opinions are often too banal, basic and quite frankly some of the titles are click baits. I don’t mean to be unkind, mean or...”Read full review »

“I am loving this podcast. As an actor we don’t often see what goes on on the other side of the table. Listening to this podcast is insightful and compelling - it’s fascinating to know how we actors fit into this collaborative puzzle. Can’t wait to make my way through all of this great content.”

Not just his co-hosts, who just have their thoughts steamrolled, but his guests as well. I want to hear what they have to say, and I want to hear the direction they’re going...”Read full review »

I would love to also hear interviews with John De Lancie and Eric Menyuk. But until then I will re-listen to the Frakes interview.

“-but your talk about film and women, show me you have little friends of color.
Your concerns are white and fearful without looking at a larger paradigm.
Screw your menial seminars. Stop being racist and bring people of color into your work.”
